AI Chatbots: Last Week Tonight

John Oliver:

The thing about not waiting until you’ve solved all the problems with your product is you’re then launching a product with a shit ton of problems.

(Context: Olver had just played a video of an AI company CEO who said he was happy to not be making a “Doctor” AI chatbot because that would involve too much risk because it has to be right. A “Friend” chatbot, he argues, doesn’t have to be anything but “entertainment” so you can launch it into the world before all the problems have been ironed out.)
